HornsPs 98:4-6The NIV translates several different Hebrew words as “ram’s horn” or “horn”, including “shophar” (Ps 81:3) which is translated elsewhere as “trumpet”. The horn was a very similar instrument to the trumpet, being made from the horn of an animal, usually a ram. See alsoEx 19:13; 2Ch 15:14; Ps 81:3
